Addictive and fully living up to the promise of its name, The Plot sees a creative writing teacher with a stalled career pass off his dead young student’s debut novel as his own, with consequences far more chilling than he could ever have imagined.
Longlisted for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger 2022
When a young writer dies before completing his first novel, his teacher, Jake, (himself a failed novelist) helps himself to its plot.
The resulting book is a phenomenal success. But what if somebody out there knows? Somebody does. And if Jake can't figure out who he's dealing with, he risks something far worse than the loss of his career.
